To simplify is not to denigrate; to represent facts clearly and authoritatively is not to engage in supercilious trivialities; to create is not to destroy, but to attend to the necessities of existential reality with the survivor's stark knowledge and wit.

Atmospheres are in constant sonic flux as well, and auditory perception adapts with the subtleties of spatial orientation to various sounds. Although sound compositions may exaggerate and reflect the sensual nature of such phenomena, technology does not, as yet, allow the composer to "place" diverse sounds in listening environments and manipulate them to the extent the imagination might suggest.

The universal sounds of life contribute to cultural settings and perceptions. For the composer, this means an aesthetic of impressions and atmospheric effects brought into being in accord with the phenomena of listening and hearing. While such compositions are neither linear nor "musical" in the traditional sense, they are nonetheless executed according to the composer's authentic experience and the peculiar designs and methods that give them form.
